PhD students and Postdocs in CISPA Trusted Systems Group
CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security
We are searching for motivated and skilled Ph.D. students and post-doctoral researchers. These are currently our areas of interest:

- Developing, extending, and integrating hardware primitives for secure and trusted computing, where we are looking especially into RISC-V, Intel TDX, ARM CCA, and TPM

- The intersection between mobile system security and usable security

- Compartmentalization of software and implementation of secure architecture principles, in particular with object capabilities or new sandboxing solutions

- Intersection between authentication and system security and usability (e.g., FIDO2/WebAuthn or UX of 2FA)

The positions are not project-bound and allow a high degree of freedom in choosing the research projects! Thus, we also welcome new angles and directions and, in fact, expect new researchers to bring in their own ideas.

If you have more questions, just chat with me at S&P or drop me an email. More information is also provided on our website.

PhDs and PostDoc in Trustworthy ML for Systems Security
UCL
No day goes by without reading machine learning (ML) success stories across different application domains. Systems security is no exception, where ML's tantalizing results leave one wondering whether any unsolved problems are left. However, machine learning has no clairvoyant abilities, and once the magic wears off, we're left in uncharted territory.

As a community, we need to understand and improve the effectiveness of machine learning methods for systems security in the presence of adversaries. One of the core challenges is related to the representation of problem space objects (e.g., program binaries) in a numerical feature space, as the semantic gap makes between problem space objects and feature space representations make it harder to reason about attacks and defenses and often leaves room for adversarial manipulation. Inevitably, the effectiveness of machine learning methods for systems security is intertwined with the underlying program analysis abstractions used to represent software. How do different program abstractions affect the entire ML pipeline in this context? What are the implications of such representations wrt robustness to various forms of distribution shifts?

If you also find these questions exciting, come and talk to me at SP23 and DLSP23 (and/or drop me a line) about PhD and PostDoc opportunities as I'm hiring ;-)

PhD positions in AI & Systems Security @ King's College London, UK
King's College London
[I'm at the conference until Thursday--feel free to stop me or contact me to have a chat!]

My main area of expertise is at the intersection of systems security and AI, with emphasis on network security and malware analysis. My research aims to design cybersecurity solutions able to learn behavioral models that can be used to detect novel attacks and threats, and that generate interpretable decisions to assist security analysts in protecting systems and organizations. I am particularly interested in challenging scenarios such as unsupervised learning (e.g., no a-priori attack examples), fast evolving threats (high non-stationarity), and smart adversaries (adversarial ML attacks).

I am looking to solve problems in many domains with incoming students, including (but not limited to):

- Problem-Space Adversarial ML
- Explainable Security
- Systems Security
- Automated security testing
- Malware Analysis

I am looking for candidates with a BSc/MSc in Computer Science (or analogous), and a strong mathematical and systems security background. Passion and commitment may partially compensate for background deficiencies in either of these two (but hardly for both). You need to be comfortable with scripting and coding, preferably in one or more of Python/Java/C/C++. You must hold a genuine interest with my research agenda, and in improving the state-of-the-art through top-quality publications.

Postdoc on Supply Chain Security
Hasso Plattner Institute / MIT
The 2022 Data Breach Incident Report concluded that in more than 60% of compromises, vulnerabilities in the supply chain played a key role in the incident.

In a joint research project with the Sloan School of Management at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, we are investigating the issue of Supply Chain Security. We focus on understanding the level of preparedness in industry with respect to supply chain security, investigate root causes for the many failures we have seen in the past (e.g. Solarwinds), and develop mechanisms to help organizations to better assess and secure the relationship to their supplies.

The project is supported by an industry consortium of well-known international organizations, which allows you to get first hand access and direct insights into the ecosystem. This position is located in Berlin, (a second one in Boston), both postdocs will directly collaborate and regular visit the other location for on-site research.
